Three wonderful partners in my life help me stay balanced enough to get things done: Mary, Alex, and Nathaniel. Mary's and my experiences raising Alex and Nathaniel have taught us the value of communicating with other parents. If you have a child with special needs, you might want to take a look at the CHASA and Our Kids pages. If your kids attend Crosswinds or Harambee in the Twin Cities metro, you might want to take a look at EMID Families. If you care about public schools anywhere in Minnesota (or beyond), please take a look at Parents United for Public Schools.
